    The Bombcast is much improved by someone else picking emails. They should rotate it so more varied stuff comes in. All these inane Ben picked questions are more interesting than the regular fare.

    His speaking voice is radiophonic bliss, pure bassy butter

    His singing voice is way too high and it's like a drill buzzing into my ears

    Extremely influential early emo album and band from 1999, the band reunited a couple years ago after almost 20 years apart and started making music again, the album cover is really well-known and it and the opening track Never Meant are a bit of a meme lately

    I listened to Totally Reprise episode 143, it's a Totally Spies episode where a guy turns into a scorpion and the show is horny for him
    "I do have a horse allergy, yes." never heard of that one before but it makes sense, nature's way of telling us to stay away from horses
    "I have never, before, toileted a phone."
    "This phone can fuck."
    "We live in a crime society." you know we really do, when you think about it
    jeremy renner cgi arms
    "I think we could be president, collectively." I will absolutely vote Totally Reprise for triumvirate
    there was a good bit about captain america but with axe body spray, but I don't know how to explain it
    "Listen, if you get the chance, it can be hard to get tickets, but if you can see a frog, beautiful stuff."
    "My feet are so dry, I was expecting to get them licked today!"
    "She's gonna put that fro-yo on her foot."
    I guess that, like venus flytraps, the writers on the show think scorpions are some kind of mythical creature
    "If you made a venn diagram of every single animal in the world, the scorpion is the middle of that huge venn diagram."
    "They're a school full of bottoms, and they're like finally, someone other than Mandy."
    "What if Trent was like that one lobster in Spongebob Squarepants who was really big and buff?" fuck that is what it's like
    "and then he looks, and he sees Trent getting brain drained, and he's like yeah I already jacked it to this twice today."
    "Alex is just like, listen, if I couldn't be a catgirl, you sure as shit can't be a scorpion boy."
    "When Alex watches She-ra, she's gonna have a fuckin' moment."
    "Monkey hands!" oh like the kim possible villain
    "I would want raccoon hands. Just small and creepy."
    "The crunchier an arthropod, the better it is."
    "Listen, the shell that is Totally Spies is beginning to crack and fracture, but our new, immortal form is about to spread its glorious wings out from underneath of it."

    I listened to the last episode of Totally Reprise a few days ago. Somehow I made it through the whole podcast without watching any episodes for myself (other than the ones I had seen back when it was airing originally), but now that I don't have any more episodes of the podcast to listen to I'm tempted to actually watch some of them myself.

    EDIT: I wonder what percentage of episodes feature mind control? I'm guessing about 60%.

    EDIT 2: I'm also looking at the episode list for The Amazing Spiez on Wikipedia out of curiosity. Luke may be happy to know that apparently GLADIS shows up at some point.

    I haven't listened to the Bombcast in like... 3 weeks? Mostly because I have not been in the mood to hear them be grumpy about stuff.

    I definitely don't think he is like, angelic, the way I've seen him made out

    But the man can sing good, and more importantly, there is so much good energy in that video. Every little smirk from Vinny feels like another year onto my life.

    I listened to Eidolon Rock episode 0, and I'm also feeling great about these characters
    "By the time this releases everyone will have just like, like mashed up everything in their home into like war paint to put on their faces and start like, fighting each other in the streets." that's true, we are doing that
    I don't have strong feelings about the distinction between these eidolon pronunciations really
    "The dictionary does not define my life, Luke." have you looked up the word 'life' in there?
    "My character is Harvey D. Godlove, and he is the pinball prince of Las Vegas." STRONG start for this character
    "The D stands for Danger."
    "As we actually build our story, the explicit JoJo references will fall by the wayside."
    "Alright, so far we got a real dumbass brigade going." this is sounding a lot like golden wind
    "I think the Pop group got all of the healing classes, so this is gonna be interesting." "It'll be great." "Did not think about team composition when assigning the playbooks."
    "So I am playing a fox." oh right of course
    "Let's say there is a guy working at a hot dog cart." "Uh huh." "And I want his hot dogs." "Right. Of course!" feel like I'm really on the same page as this character so far
    "Do NOT get Flowers for Algernoned."
    "Shoutout to the cat Chili."
    "You sacrificed your labor value in exchange for a paycheck." I think we all have a tie to 'a paycheck'
    "I'm gonna say Karl with a K." "Hell yeah!"
    I don't think I've heard of the spaghetti factory before
    "Linguini Manuel Miranda"

    On the bombcast they talk a bit about controller features, including a little bit about how great HD rumble is.

    I don't get it.

    I've never noticed controller vibration on Switch being different from any other controllers. One of Ben's examples is Ring Fit Adventure, but as far as I can tell it only varies the intensity of the vibration, which other vibration methods can do too.

    Maybe I just need to play 1 2 Switch.

    I got suckered into thinking rumble was a cool feature because way back on the N64 it was important! It was an achievement! You needed a whole add-on to experience it!

    But now I've turned it off on all my systems and I find I don't miss it at all

    I like rumble as a backup to audio feedback in shooter games.

    The best game for experiencing HD rumble is actually Super Mario Odyssey, believe it or not

    Swimming around in the carbonated sea produces a very neat feeling in the controller

    Conversely I'm slowly making my way through Oddysey (or was until I got distracted by Fire Emblem) and did that area a couple weeks back and don't remember any rumble at all, and I don't think I have it turned off.

    Odyssey literally requires you to use the rumble to find some of the moons (and yes, the conversation about Nintendo's hostility to accessibility fully applies here).

    I'm re-downloading Odyssey to try that, because I don't remember it at all.

    My memory of that is that it's just the intensity depending on distance, but I'll check that out too.

    Jeff also spends some time dispensing the correct opinion that the HD rumble is bad and the joycons feel cheap whenever they rumble
